Classic Literature. Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. 'This is a rollercoaster of a story...what a good read is all about.' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars She was dressed in a long white gown, embroidered with tiny flowers. Her body was wrapped in colourful ribbons that floated in the breeze. But underneath the swathe of golden hair, a string of darkly smudged bruises ringed her neck. As May Day dawns in the peaceful village of Middle Fenton, a young woman is found brutally strangled, her body tied up with ribbons in the middle of the green. A week later, her boyfriend is found hanged in a local barn, and the police assume guilt over murdering his beloved has driven him to suicide ?? but not everyone is convinced. WPC Trudy Loveday and coroner Clement Ryder are sent to investigate, and quickly realise that there's a double murderer on the loose. But the killer has already shown willingness to remove anyone who threatens to discover their identity... As Trudy and Clement circle in on the culprit, can they crack the case before they too come to a nasty end? Perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, LJ Ross and Val McDermid, this is one murder mystery you won't be able to put down! Readers LOVE A Fatal Affair!

With Faith Martin's mysteries I never know for sure if I should classify as procedural or cosy, all I know is that I've never read one that didn't keep my eyes to the page until finished (regardless of the hour). This series involves the talents of WPC Loveday and former surgeon, now coroner, Dr. Ryder working to find the truth of the deaths ably described in the publisher's blurb. It is set in 1964 in England near Oxford, but good police work knows no borders or year. And it is the due diligence that brings the right murderer to court. Excellent!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook from HQ Stories/Harper Collins UK via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )

It is 1962 in a sleepy English village when the lovely Iris Carmody, Queen of the May, is discovered murdered and tied to the very maypole that is part of the annual festivities for May Day. A few days later, her boyfriend, the son of police Superintendent Keith Finch is found hanging in a barn, ostensibly a suicide. Finch asks Clement Ryder and Trudy Loveday to investigate his son’s death after the final inquest verdict.

Ryder is the aging local coroner, while Loveday is a young constable trying to be accepted as a serious police officer. They have teamed up very successfully before in solving crimes.

This is the sixth in the Ryder/Loveday series, the second I have read although it works well as a standalone. I like the books that have been published under the author’s pen name, Faith Martin. They have solid stories; more substantial than “cosy” mysteries yet still enjoyable, engrossing reads. ( )
